Here's why:
* Distributor Location: The distributor is located on the passenger side of the engine, towards the back.
* Intake Manifold Location: The intake manifold is located on the top of the engine, spanning the entire width.
These components are separate, allowing you to remove the intake manifold without disturbing the distributor.
However, there are a few things to keep in mind:
* Careful Removal: Removing the intake manifold requires loosening several bolts and components, so it's important to be careful to avoid damaging the distributor or other engine components.
* Access: While you won't need to completely remove the distributor, you may need to move it slightly out of the way to access some of the intake manifold bolts.
If you are unsure about the process, it's always best to consult a repair manual or a mechanic.
